It’s no secret that the default Outlook Tasks application in Windows Mobile 6 isn’t great, and given that I use tasks almost as much as the calendar—perhaps even more so—I’m always on the look-out for a dedicated application that will handle them better.
pTasks
I was therefore delighted when I discovered pTasks, which describes itself as “a replacement for the default Windows Mobile task manager” with a “finger-friendly user interface”.
Perfect!
It costs £2.69 from the Windows Phone app store.
Rather than paying for something that I don’t know if I wanted to keep I went in search of a free, early beta release. I found version 0.5f (the current, paid-for version is 1.5) and gave it a test drive.
An important note is that it requires the .NET 3.5 framework installed first.
Imagine my surprise when I added a new task, “Blog about pTasks”, and reviewed the details:
How efficient am I! I’ve just completed a task nearly 2490 years early.
